The Christmas presents have been unwrapped and you did not get the much wanted drone? Bit sad, isn’t it? Well it shouldn’t, because you got a second chance. The January sales are now upon us and with it some of the year’s best drone deals.

Being a dedicated deal hunter, I’m looking almost every day to find the best drone deals from the most reliable retailers on the net (Amazon, Banggood, GearBest, GeekBuying, HobbyWow and TomTop).

January’s hottest drone deals

Sponosored AD

In order to offer options for all kind of pilots, I selected 5 different drones. From cheap entry level ones to more expensive FPV racing quadcopters.

1. Eachine EX1 Brushless GPS drone with 6% off

Here is my top pick: the Eachine EX1. It features dual GPS positioning system and dual control mode (APP and remote controller).

According to the manufacturer’s specs, the 2s. 2000mAh flight battery allows up to 15 minutes of flight time.

The detachable Full HD camera module allows to record aerial videos with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Featuring WiFi FPV, you can display the camera’s live-video feed on your mobile phone.

Unlike other similar GPS drones, EX1 comes with brushless motors instead of brushed motors. They are not just more powerful, but also more reliable. VIEW DEAL

2. SPC Maker 100SP FPV drone – now 213.99 (was $272.99)

SPC Maker 100SP is a compact FPV racing quadcopter suitable for both indoor and outdoor flights. Equipped with versatile Omnibus F3 flight controller, you can configure it with 3 different flight modes (Acro, Horizon and Angle).

According to your existing remote controller you can opt to purchase the SPC Maker 100SP in bundle with FrSky, FlySky or DSMX/DSM2 radio receiver.

Package includes two sets of propellers and dedicated carrying case. VIEW DEAL

3. Eachine E58 drone with 22% off

If you’re in search of a cheap drone for learn to fly and hobby grade aerial videos, the Eachine E58 is an excellent choice. It features similar design as the much more expensive DJI Mavic Pro. Due to the foldable arms you can take it with you everywhere. Thanks to the altitude-hold features it is incredibly easy to use.

Now, during January’s sales promotion, you can find it with 22% off. According to your needs you can opt for 0.3MP and 2MP camera. BTW, both versions are available with 1, 2 or 3 flight batteries. VIEW DEAL

4. Hubsan H507A X4 Star Pro – now 87.99 (was $99.99)

Similar to H216A, the Hubsan H507A is also an affordable GPS drone with camera. The cool design is paired with many useful features.

For only $87.99 you got GPS positioning system, HD camera with WiFi FPV, altitude hold and headless mode. Unfortunately, the battery life isn’t the best, but at least is easily replaceable. VIEW DEAL

5. Eachine E013, now only $65.99 in bundle with VR006 FPV Goggles

This tiny quadcopter is an excellent FPV trainer. Due to its large ducted propeller protectors it can be safely flown indoor. I need to underline that Eachine E013 has only 6-axis stabilized flight mode, so it is suitable for first-time pilots.

Popular quadcopter news

Back in 2016, FiMI in collaboration with Xiaomi announced the Mi 4K drone. Now, FiMI Technologies comes up with another quadcopter called FIMI A3. Unfortunately, in terms of video rigs, it seems to be worst equipped compared to its processor.

Best GPS drone under 100

From the day of its announcement was obvious that the VISUO XS812 aims to be the perfect drone for people who are looking for a low-cost introduction in flying and shooting aerial videos. Just like its predecessor, the VISUO XS812 also follows the Mavic’s cool foldable design. This second generation Visuo drone brings GPS positioning system and longer flight time.
